Hi everyone. Happy Friday! I hardly ever take the time to remind myself of all that has been accomplished during the week...so I'm taking a moment now. I took care of my mom for 42 hours this week. I built a nurture sequence and a landing page for an in-person somatic series I'm promoting. I saw 18 clients. I nurtured the seeds and perennials in my garden. I took care of my cat and dog. I ate well. I had some friend time. I went roller skating. I got enough sleep.... Yay. So many things have been done and I still have energy for today. What has your week looked like? Is there something you are proud of yourself for recently?

What are you cooking up, promoting, excited about? What are you standing for now days? Are you building business? Learning new skills? Honing skills? Are you offering something like supervision or a retreat or a group? Let us know what's cooking for you.

Hey everyone...how was your weekend? What is one win for the weekend? What is one goal you have for the week? These things are important to tabulate, imo, if only to keep us going when the going gets weird.

We're so glad you're here. Will you help us get to know each other? What do you practice? Who are your clients? Are you in a group or solo? How many years have you been doing what you do as a therapist? What is one of your favorite things about being a therapist? Bonus smiles for everyone if you add a therapy related GIF with your comment below 👇

A metaphor that resonates with many clients is the idea of emotional capacity functioning like a battery. Every responsibility, stressor, and emotional demand draws from that battery. When it becomes depleted, tasks that once felt manageable suddenly feel overwhelming. Reframing exhaustion as capacity depletion rather than laziness can shift clients from self-criticism toward self-compassion. Curious how other clinicians explain emotional capacity to clients. ℹ️ Educational purposes only. Not a substitute for therapy or professional mental health care.
